Due to the labor shortage currently in the United States of America it often makes sense to outsource certain services of your company. For instance let's take the transportation industry and in particular and transportation companies such as limousines, taxicabs and shuttle buses. There are many needs of these companies such as vehicle washing and preventative maintenance, such as oil changes and lube. It may not make sense to have full time mechanics and a shop on the property, as that gets very costly with all the over regulations from OSHA to EPA cradle to grave laws. Yet if the company outsources such operational needs they can most likely save money and remain more efficient. Keeping costs low is desired to maintain a proper return on investment and make a profit. For many years our company, OilChangeGuys.com serviced these types of companies and was able to provide such services to them on a routine scheduled service preventative maintenance program. We made money by saving these companies money and were able to lower costs for such fleet services due to the economies of scale provided by the transportation companies, as our mobile unites could change the oil in 10-units at a time, while all the vehicles were in a row. Outsourcing operational preventative maintenance needs makes a lot of sense for a whole lot of reasons, so consider all this in 2006. |
